The AI Tipping Point

AI models are now surpassing average human intelligence across a range of tasks. They write, reason, code, and solve problems faster and better than most people. This isn’t just qualitative progress—it’s measurable, repeatable, and accelerating.

The roadmap is becoming clear, which is why the world’s largest firms are pouring billions into AI—not just to reduce costs, but to redefine their capabilities. Boards and CEOs now see AI as core infrastructure, not an experiment.

Mature Industries Will Be Transformed

In established industries, we’re going to see a sharp divide—not between people and AI, but between companies that effectively use AI and those that don’t. The firms that survive will be the ones that automate everything that can be automated, while doubling down on what can’t.

This won’t be about AI replacing people—though that will absolutely happen in specific roles—it will be about companies that combine people and AI outperforming those that rely solely on human labor. Entire layers of operational overhead will be dis-intermediated.

Entirely New Industries Will Emerge

While AI reshapes mature industries, it will also give birth to entirely new ones. This is a pattern we’ve seen before. Thirty years ago, “web development” was a nonsensical phrase. Today, it’s a $100 billion industry. In the next decade, we’ll see multiple trillion-dollar industries emerge directly from AI.

These new sectors will create opportunities for billions of people. Some of the jobs we’ll see in the next ten years don’t even exist today. Just as the internet gave rise to e-commerce, social media, and cloud computing, AI will open the door to industries we can’t yet fully imagine—but that will define the global economy for decades to come.

People Will Be Empowered Beyond Their Natural Limits

AI doesn’t just automate—it amplifies. It gives individuals access to cognitive tools that were once unimaginable. We are moving into an era where human potential is no longer constrained by our natural abilities.

A single person can coordinate a team of AI agents—each potentially faster, smarter, and more specialized than the person themselves. This shift will fundamentally change what it means to be productive. In tech we used to talk about “10x engineer”—individuals who were ten times more effective than their peers. With AI, we’re entering the age of the “infinity-x person.”

Your Personal AI Multiplier Will Define Success

This brings us to the concept of your AI multiplier. Your effectiveness in society will depend less on what you can do personally, and more on what AI can do under your direction. Your AI multiplier is driven by the unique combination of AI tools and agents that you orchestrate.

The individuals who understand this and invest early will have a profound advantage. We’re already seeing this in reality as one-person startups have an outsized impact on the market. Your success in the coming decade will be less about job titles or degrees, and more about how you build and manage your AI multiplier.
